99% of the QBs have some form of a running game and have much better protection. Guys like you just think its robotics . Rattler didnt look so hot under pressure, they we're talking Heisman at the start of the season. So AM can't handle all the pressure on him, ok. Everybody in our fanbase with a brain was worried when he left the game. He's up and down. Playing calling and pressures of carrying the offense is real.
Personally, I was not worried about losing AM last Sat. This NU team has shown an ability to lose with AM or without AM.
we've played 5 games, everyone else but illinois has played 4. he's 4th in yards/game
That is fine but you can't argue he is bad at completing passes when the stats show that is not the case. And you can't argue he "sucks" at being a QB when the stats don't show that.
Love this line and Iowa should struggle hard defending him. I would LOVE to see MD score first in this game.
Iowa will do what Iowa does. Take away the run , put pressure on that kid and make him beat them with his arm. I'd like to see it but I think Iowa wins. I will take the good proven defensive team everytime. Maryland must prove it.
I would never say he *can't* complete passes
unlike our guy, Tua's little bro can sling it with the best of them.
he is incapable of getting the ball out, on time, to the appropriate teammate. of the 25 passes he attempts per game, maybe 5 are in rhythm. maybe.
We run variations off the same play. You’ve heard the term RPO, right? I could be wrong certainly but I’m assuming that was the case.
Eh.. We can agree to disagree. There are so many examples and I also think it came out that they practiced that play all week and Falck was his only read and he whiffed. There was a ton of other pictures as well that showed how bad he was.
definitely wouldn't have anymore multi-year gaps between thousand yd rushers/receivers
I feel like the Huskers have not had a big time RB for years now.
99% huh......Did Michigan State QB have a running game and BETTER PROTECTION??!
He no doubt missed some wide open guys in particular on that first play in OT. That said, as I recall that play he was running for his life. It all looks easy sitting on my recliner with a cold beverage. The kid made some fantastic plays to bail his team out of third and forever on multiple occasions during that MSU game. You take the good with the bad and almost all college QBs are like that.
I agree. He has definitely bailed us out and he is playing much better than the Adrian we know,. I'm glad we have him, just stating that if he sees the field against MSU we blow them out and the pass rush probably slows down a little because he is carving them up. Same thing with OU. He missed some reads... He is doing a lot for us no doubt, but if he could ever just make the correct read even 50% of the time we might be a team that no one wants to play and would win a lot of games. Like I said, we blow MSU out if he sees the field.
Adrian was a pre-season Heisman candidate at one point. It obviously means less than squat. The Alabama and Arkansas quarterbacks appear to be the best two quarterbacks in the country. Rattler is not even in the same league as them.
The record shows it. Good quarterbacks don't lead their team to a losing record all 4 seasons they started. Yes, AM puts up a lot of empty stats. He puts up a lot of passing yardage at times but has very few passing TD's. It's critical downs where he's the worst, and where he constantly makes bad decisions. He also has blinders on and can't see half of what most DI quarterbacks can see. He's a below average qb at best.
Pre season Heisman like two years ago maybe.
You keep ranting and raving about nonsense. Most QBs aren't Tom Brady or as you stated Heisman trophy winner Burrow. AM is the best we got, you're going to have to deal with it. If AM was at Alabama he'd be a All American, so what....it doesn't matter.
If AM was an All American at Alabama, it would be because he was coached that way. I don't think AM's inability to see the field is entirely his fault, and I think the "coaching" he's received has something to do with it. He was thought to have a lot of talent coming in, and you see rare glimpses of that. But yeah, if you can't see the field and can't read defenses, you're not going to be a good qb.
